PUMP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J HARTLEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Decatur, in the county of Macon and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pumps, more especially of that type employing a valvecl reciprocating piston; and the object of the same is to permit the adjustment oi the head and its parts rotatably with relation to the pump body and support.

To this end the invention consists in an improved construction of several parts of the pump, as hereinafter more. fully described and claimed and as shown in the drawings in which- Figure 1 is a central vertical section oi the entire device. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the spout or spouts, part of the ilange of the head being broken away.

In said drawings the reference numeral 1 designates the supply pipe threaded into the lower end 2 of the pump body which oomprises a cylinder 3 containing a piston 4 valved as at 10, upper and lower ilanges 5 and 6 which may be integral with but are here shown as screwed around the cylinder near its extremities, connections such as bolts '7 between the lower flange 6 and the lower end 2, packin 8 between these elements carryin an in et valve 9, and a head. The latter as herein shown comprises a cap 32 having a flange 33 containing a stufling box 31 in which is mounted a gland nut 30. The numeral 39 in Fig. 1 designates the inner end of' the spout leading out of the cap, and in Fig. 2 391 designates its outer end to which a suitable nozzle is to be attached. It is possible that another spout 392 could open radially from some other point within the head, but if two or more s )outs are employed all but that one to whic the nozzle is attached should be closed by plugs 393. The pistou is moved by a yoke l1 at the lower end ol a pump rod erstem 12 which passes through the gland nut and is connected with a handle 13, the latter being connected by a pivotal link 4() with an ear 41 rigidly supported by the head, and hence the adjustment of the latter with relation to the pump body will adjust the position of the handle as Well as that of the spout. It is possible, as shown,

Serial No. 416,149,

to form the ear as part of a collar 42 loosely surrounding the stul'ling box 31 and resting on the body of the cap 32*so1ne such means as a set screw 43 being employed for holding the collar after it has been adjusted. This would permit the handle and its support to be rotatably adjusted with respect to the head, independent of the adjustment of the latter with respect to the pump body.

While any suitable means may be employed for connecting the cap and body, permitting their relative adjustment, and holding them after they are adjusted, I refer that shown herein and which will now e described. The upper 'llange 5 is provided with a dove-tailed or inverted T-shaped annular groove 34, illustrated in section in Fig. 1 and in lan view in Fig. 2, and at points within th1s groove are openings 35 leading from its larger lower portion upward through the top face of the lange. Into these openings may be dropped the heads 36 of bolts 37 whose Shanks pass through holes in the flange 33 to receive exposed nuts 3S. By this construction it will be seen that on loosening the nuts 38 the entire head can be rotatably adjusted upon the body of the pump so as to cause any spout that is in use to occupy the desired osition over the sink or with relation to tlie support and the wall, after which the nuts are tightened up to clamp the head to the body of the pum Also it will be clear that by turnin the "ormer on the latter until the heads 36 o the bolts 37 come under the openings 35 (which occur at points where it probably never would be desirable to tighten up the bolts) the head can be detached as for cleansing or repair of parts.

While any suitable means may be eniployed for supporting the body of a pump lraving substantially the construction above set forth, I prefer that herein illustrated and which will now be described: Projecting radially from the flanges 5 and 6 are nipples 20 internally threaded and exteriorly shouldered as at 21. 22 is the u right body of a bracket which may be attac 10d to a vertical wall as by screws taking through its ears 23, and projecting from this body are tubes 24 Whose outer ends are adapted to receive said nipples 2() and abut against their shoulders 21. The inner ends of the tubes are counterbored as at 25 to receive washers 26 and the heads 27 of bolts or screws 28, which latter are of a length to reach through the tubes and detachably engage with the threads in the nipples 20-all as seen in Fig. 1. By this construction it is possible to support the pump from a Wall or other upright, instead of from a base as so common at thc present time; and hence the pump body may be located ad'acent or over a sink, and all that necessari y depends from it is the supply ipe 1 which in fact might be curved so as to lJead through the Wall of the sink or over its edgethus leaving the space beneath the sink entirely clear.

It will be obvious that the pum bod can be detached from the bracket an( the atter removed from its support at any time, as for repair or substitution of parts. However, it is not essential to the successful operation of the )ump herein described that this support shall be ein loyed, or, if it is used, that its parts shall e detachable from each other, for it is obvious that the head or handle or both could be rotatably adjusted on the body whatever the form of the support.

Many other details are susce tible to considerable variation and ampli cation Which mayI Well be left to the manufacturer.

hat is claimed as new is:

1. In a pump, the combination With the body, flanges surrounding it, and nipples projecting radially therefrom; of the head carrying a spout, the handle mounted on the head, and means for permitting the rotary adjustment of said head and handle on said body.

2. In a pump, the combination with the body, flanges surrounding it, nipples projecting rad1ally therefrom, a bracket secured to an upright support, and screws leading through the bracket and taking into said nipples; of the head carrying a spout, the handle mounted on the head, and means for permitting the rotary adjustment of said head and handle on said body.

3. In a pump, the combination with the body including a cylinder and a surrounding flange containing an inverted T-shaped annular groove opening through its top face, and a radial support for said flange; of a cap having a flan e registering with that of the body, bolts Wose heads lie in the larger portion of said groove and Whose shanks pass through said cap-flange with their nuts exposed, and a piston, stem, and handle.

4. In a pump, the combination with the body including a cylinder and a surrounding flange containing an inverted T-shaped annular groove opening through its top face, openings of the size of the larger ortion of this groove extending also throng said top face at certain points, and a radial support for said flange; of a cap having a flange registering with that of the body, bolts Whose heads are adapted to pass through said openings and lie in the larger portion of said groove and Whose Shanks pass through said capflange With their nuts exposed, and a piston, stem, and handle.

5. In a ump, the combination With the body inclu ing a cylinder and a surrounding flange containing an inverted T-shaped annular groove opening through its to face, and a radial support or said flange; o a cap having a flange registering With that of the body, bolts Whose heads lie in the lar er portion of said groove and Whose shan pass through said cap-flange with their nuts exposed, a stuffing box on said cap, a collar rotatably mounted on said box and carryin the handle-support, and a piston, stem, an handle.

6. In a ump, the combination With the body inclu ing a cylinder and a surrounding flange containing an inverted T-shaped annular groove opening through its top face, o enings of the size of the larger portion of t e groove extending also through said top face at certain oints, and a radial support for said flange o a cap having a flange registering with that of the body, bolts Whose heads are adapted to ass through said openings and lie 1n the Allarger portion of said groove and whose Shanks pass through said cap-flange with their nuts exposed, a stuffin box on said ca a collar rotatabl Inounte on said box an carryin the hand e-support, and a piston, stem, an handle.
